Android Emulator for Tablet

My PC is core i-5 with 4gb RAM.

whenever i try to run an AVD in eclipse it comes fast, if i want to run an AVD for TAB it take 5 to 10 minutes. Is there any way to make it fast? Also some time it comes with blackscreen says open gl es API problem type something

Also after fast run, i dont close it, i use it same AVD for all run. But it becames slower after every installation or run by my app. so i have to close and restart my AVD, is there any solution for it. Also some time DDMS cant find AVD, while it was running in font.

Anyone face these problem? any tricks?

one another thing, some time app dont run automatically after installation, i have to select app in AVD's APPS

The Android emulator does not make use of multiple cores. Whether you have 1 or 8 cores doesn't matter. However, the speed of a single core does affect the speed of the emulator.

Having a processor with TurboBoost helps considerably, in my experience. Additionally, it is well known that the 3.X and above emulators are extremely slow by nature.

You could also try allocating more RAM to the AVD in it's setup. Reducing the screen size and resolution also helps in speeding up the emulator.

You can refer to this Google Group thread for details on why the emulator is slow, and how to speed it up.
